PZenDump: Create Memory Dumps For Multiple Processes In Batch

by on
Leave a comment
Whichever application you execute on your PC, Windows treats each as a separate process. Among various advantages that such scheme of running applications holds, process debugging is one of them, and comes useful in varying situations. For instance, abnormal crashes of a particular application are identified through debugging the process. For this, a process must first go through a memory dump – more like a snapshot of the process from memory to your local drive. Programmers or system analysts also use the dumped file to sort out various issues in the problem at hand. Dumped processes are saved with a .dmp extension. Windows Task Manager easily lets you dump any selected process, but not as efficiently, and more importantly, not in batch. Moreover, it’s also quite difficult to identify the exact process you’re looking for – especially for casual users. If you have had a problem creating a memory dump of the target process, then PZenDump is probably what you need. It’s a very lightweight application that lets you dump multiple processes in one go. In addition, it also shows the application icon next to its process, something which the Task Manager doesn’t come bundled with, and which can be a huge help. Read More

In order to keep your PC working smooth and avoid any crashes, its important that you clean it regularly of all the junk files. Whenever you uninstall an application, some of its items such as the log files, configuration files and registry entries are left by it in your system, which might cause conflict with other applications. Previously, we have covered some very good system cleaners for both Windows and Mac, such as GiliSoft Free Disk Cleaner, Uncloeaner, iBoostUp and Windisk. Today, we have another system cleaner named System Ninja that lets you clean junk files from your system, has a startup manager to remove items from system startup, a process manager to end processes, a file analyzer to generate MD5, SHA1, SHA256 hash values and view other details about a selected file, and a PC analyzer to view the specifications of your PC.

Windows 7, unlike its predecessors, provides a great deal of information regarding currently active services and processes in Task Manager, but still devoid of many user and system processes related elements which would’ve helped users in troubleshooting program freezes and other generic exceptions. Using an advanced task manager becomes inevitable when your system starts responding in a weird way; locking down certain system services, unsharing those processes which are to be used by user apps, etc. WinUtilities Process Security is developed to give users more control over running system instances whilst a detailed info regarding memory and CPU is also provided along. Apart from CPU and Memory usage, you can keep tab on Virtual Memory Space Addressing table storage where address pointers are mapped with virtual memory addresses, and total and available Page File Usage.

ProcessRenicer for Mac lets user change the nice value of active applications. The nice value refers to the value which system kernel uses to compute the application threads priority. With ProcessRenicer, you can manage the CPU resources in a better way by preventing hefty processes of applications from hogging system resources. You can for instance restrict resources which are being utilized by Dock at normal level, so that it can’t consume more physical memory and CPU time. Read More

Access Hidden System Activities, Services And Threads With Process Director

Windows Task Manger only displays running processes and threads which are being used by different applications along with the network and CPU / Memory usage. Since there is a lot more going on with each active application at the backend, you don’t have, apparently, a direct way to analyze memory usage hierarchy and inter-related threads & services which are responsible for keeping application stable. Take Firefox as an example, it will start consuming much of your memory resources after you’ve opened 5-6 tabs. How would you check the threads, modules, dependent DLLs, etc., which are causing memory hogging? Process Director is one of the few solutions available. According to the DELL Kace (developer), it is solely built to show hidden and inaccessible activities of system. It allows you to analyze independent and dependant processes of an application, including those which can’t be seen in Task Manager, running in the background. It uses an integrated suite of tools for viewing and manipulating active processes, threads, and services. With its ability to find out the problem-causing process(es), you can immediately cease the activities of threads to resolve deadlocks/livelocks. Read More
